Our Mission

EP04442-0030.jpg

Pursuit of Perfection

We aim for perfection.

 

Because architecture is an involuntary common good. It is our responsibility to enrich people‘s lives.

 

Through our work, we holistically contribute to transform cities and spaces for the better.

Common Culture

We focus on our clients.

 

In order to be successful,

it is important to live a culture of togetherness.

 

Our clients are our friends -

not our enemies. They

enjoy working with us and rely

on what we do.

Eagerness to Invent

We design for the future.

 

Climate change and resource scarcity require innovative solutions to build in harmony with our ecological systems.

 

The question is not whether we build, but how. Because positivity is key to human nature.

Take Pride

We take pride in what we do.

 

With an interdisciplinary, open mindset, we enjoy working as a team. Respect and appreciation are essential to our culture.

 

Each detail and every contribution along the process does matter to receive outstanding results.

Our Innovative Design Process

At CBA, our design process is rooted in systems thinking, interdisciplinary collaboration, and a deep understanding of our clients' and society's future needs.

 

We believe in the power of architecture to transform spaces and enhance the human experience - without harming the planet. From initial concept development to the final execution, we are committed to delivering exceptional architectural solutions that exceed expectations.

Designing

Design is the core discipline of architecture - and we simply

love it!

 

With a strong yet robust initial concept, all further steps towards the construction of a building can be layed out.

 

But as much as it is a coordination tool amongst all parties involved in the process, it also is a great tool for communication. Because a picture says more than a thousand words.

Planning

We emphasize on the importance of proper planning.

 

In todays construction world, a deep understanding of regulations and guidelines is important. Not only to get it right, but also to make it beautiful.

 

As architects, we are not shy of coordinating all technical trades.

 

The contrary is true: We take pride in ultimately being responsible for a successful team effort.

Consulting

Whether you need a feasibility study for a site you consider to buy or a second opinion on a design you already have:

 

CBA is here to help.

 

As architects, we are used to solve complex issues. We analyze problems and identify opportunities to improve the situation.

 

Both within the field of architecture - and beyond.

Design as a Tool for Sustainability

High-quality design is more important than ever.

Because aesthetics and innovation create emotional connections, cultural relevance and recognition that differentiate projects.

 

However, climate change, resource scarcity and urbanization require solutions that go beyond aesthetic design to generate positive ecological and social effects in the long term. Sustainability is key.

 

Therefore, the future lies in combining both aspects in a holistic approach.

Our Expertise

Sustainability

Based on our vision of a „Metabolic Evolution“ we strive for a state in which buildings are continuously in harmony with their anthropogenic and natural environment. In short: towards a circular economy, without emissions. 

 

On our „Mission to Earth“, we perceive a systemic approach as key to drive true sustainable action: ecologically, socially, culturally and economically.

Technology

In a world where everything is increasingly interdependent, we use the latest technology to make informed decisions.

 

Throughout our

planning process, digital tools such as parametric software, building information modelling and artificial intelligence enhance accuracy and efficiency.

 

However, human intelligence is always there to steer.

Strategy

With „Designing Processes“,

we have layed the foundation

for a strategic approach

towards re-inventing the processes from which

architecture evolves.

 

With our ability to inspire

through our work,

we continue to promote the development of sustainable yet architecturally striking projects -

 

and also do this on stage.
